In this episode of Aider & Abettor, Avi and Sajid interview Los Angeles Deputy Public Defender Elizabeth Lashley-Haynes about the #clientsfirst #notmypd movement in Los Angeles County. The Board of Supervisors in Los Angeles appointed an attorney with zero public defense experience to be the interim head the largest Public Defender's Office in the United States. In response, public defenders and community allies organized opposition to the appointment. This included a protest of the appointment by over 150 public defenders. Elizabeth talks about what is going on in Los Angeles.
